Chapter Twelve
Gabe
I pull up to the clinic and slam my car door. I walk in without a word to anyone. I just nod, walking back to my office. I’ve just gotten back into town from the conference.
The conference where I met the hottest chick of my life and had the best sex of my life. Multiple times, so many times I thought my dick would chafe. Only to wake up to an empty bed, warm strawberries, and a goodbye note. I don’t even fucking have her name. Jane fucking Doe. I grab my white lab coat, and I’m putting it on when my father comes in smiling, and it irritates me. “Hey, son.”
“Yeah,” I grumble.
“The new nurse starts on Monday; just giving you a heads-up.”
“Did you hire that one from the city?” I ask, grabbing my stethoscope to put around my neck.
He nods his head while I shake my head in disbelief. “I think it’s a big, big mistake.”
“Is everything okay?” He puts his hands in his pockets. “You look angry.”
“No, it’s fine. I’m just tired. I got in late last night. I’ll be fine.” I smile at him and then walk out to the nurses’ station. “Okay, what do we have?” I ask them, and they tell me where to go. The day drags by or maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know; the only thing I think about is Jane, or whatever her name is. I am about to kick myself in the ass when I walk out of examine room three, heading to the nurses’ station, and I hear that laugh. My whole body goes on alert; my feet stop moving, but my cock springs into action as if he knows. Turning the corner, I see the back of her, and I know it’s fucking her. The question is, what the fuck is she doing here? My father looks over the woman’s shoulder. “Oh, great, Gabriel, come and meet Crystal. She was next door and decided to pop in and introduce herself before she starts on Monday” It happens in slow motion, just like in the movies. She turns her head, her hair flying with her, and then I see her face. The face that has haunted my dreams for the past two nights.
Her eyes widen when she finally sees me, and I see she is just as affected as I am. I make my way to her, holding out my hand. “Pleasure to meet you.” I smile at her the whole time I’m fighting with my body; my brain says one thing, but my cock says ‘it’s go time.’
She puts her hand in mine as I shake it harder than I want to. “Nice to meet you, Dr. Walker. I’m Crystal.” Everyone is looking at us now as we smile at each other and our hands go up and down.
She finally pulls her hand from mine. “I’m excited to get started,” she finally says, looking around.
“I’m sorry.” I tilt my head at her. “You look like someone.” I watch her throat move up and down as she swallows.
“I don’t think we’ve ever met.” She smiles and then looks at my father.
I tap my lip with my forefinger. “Nope, wasn’t you. The girl was Jane,” I say as she smiles while her eyes glare at me.
“Well, I’m glad we got that out of the way.” She turns to my father. “It was lovely to meet you, and I look forward to working with you on Monday.” I don’t say anything, nor do I reach out and drag her back to my office to talk, or taste, or fuck against the door.
She waves goodbye to everyone and stops to talk to all the nurses on her way out.
“Where did she come from?” I turn to my father, who is watching me.
“Your grandmother’s friend Sheila, the one she met at one of those senior getaways.” he says as I nod. “That’s her granddaughter.”
“Oh,” I say softly.
“They are renting Walker’s house.”
My eyebrows pinch together. “What do you mean, Walker’s house?”
“Well, the white house,” he says, looking down and then up. “I have to go. Your mother is waiting for me.”
“Holy shit,” I say under my breath; she is living in the white house. I pull out my phone to call Walker.
His answer is gruff. “So how is your day going?” I ask, knowing it’s probably shot to shit.
“I just left your grandmother’s house, who, by the way, thought it was a good idea to rent out my house to two fucking chicks from the city.” He always calls her mine when she does something wrong, which knowing our grandmother is something huge.
“Really?” I say, turning and going into my office. “Which girls?”
“How the fuck should I know? I just want them out, but one of them came down here and threatened to sue me when I laughed and told her to fuck off. Gram also thought it was a good idea to invite them to live with her till I fix the house.”
